Message from Dr. Hoffritz
Below are some of the many examples of the great things happening at KDM, and other important events and information.
Pillars of character here at KDM are alive and thriving!
We as a school support, educate and encourage the pillars of character (caring, citizenship, fairness, respect, responsibility and trustworthiness) throughout the day. We do this by teaching the children through role modeling and communication. KDM Keys are back and children have already started earning them, for going above and beyond expectations during their school day😊

Message from the Nurse's Office
We are so happy to see the students back in school and we know that they are happy to be here. It is with your partnership that we can navigate this pandemic together and keep school safe. We’d like to remind you of the symptoms that the CDC has reported for unvaccinated students under the age of 12.
They are:
- · fever
- · cough
- · trouble breathing
- · symptoms of a cold such as a sore throat, congestion, or a runny nose
- · chills
- · muscle pain
- · headache
- · a loss of taste or smell
- · nausea or vomiting
- · diarrhea
- · tiredness
It is important that you keep your children with any of these symptoms at home and it is recommended that they get a COVID test to rule out a COVID infection. If you have any questions about whether your child should be sent to school, please call the office in the morning.
Thank you for your cooperation in advance!
